Lawson Builds His Stack

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We caught Ted Lawson in a hand with one other player on the flop of {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Lawson led out with a 3,000 bet and his opponent raised to 8,400. The clock was called on Lawson and he reraised to 13,800. His opponent called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn and both players checked. The river brought the {q-Diamonds} and both players checked again.

Lawson flipped up {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and his opponent turned over {a-}{k-}.

Lawson now sits with 60,000 in chips.
